10/10 Excellent
"What a great location, on the beach looking across the bay to Freycinet. Close to many great wineries and Cole’s Bay. We stocked up at the supermarket (IGA), with a great pub at the end of the street (walking distance). Such a great place to chill with a new beach seemingly around every corner or over every hill is another beautiful beach. Great spot to base and explore the Cole’s Bay region."

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and spacious. The view was breathtaking and the walking areas were stunning for nature lovers like me. I his would be the best comfortable stay in Bicheno that you can get The bed was slightly uncomfortable in terms of the price we paid . The advertised penguin viewing is underwhelming and the best viewing areas were cordoned off in the evening leading to 5-6 penguins maximum available for viewing. Ideally , this should be open for resort guests as this is too close to the venue and we have paid premium for the stay . The other operator has a monopoly and we are stuck if we cannot get the booking from that operator"

"We thought the resort was lovely, esp being so close to beach. Yes I did swim each day even though it was august. We were told property was wheelchair friendly but you need to have some Mobility. A lot of gravel made chair use a little tricky and a couple More grab rails in bathroom would have been good along with a bench in shower. Breakfast each day would be good as you are a short drive to town. Need to plan for dinner as Sunday and Monday restaurant is shut. Room Could have had a slightly better clean each day as I did leave a bit of sand about from The beach. But beds/heating/location and comfort were amazing."
